Commenting on Crown
Group’s move into the luxury hotels arena, Chairman & Group Chief Executive
Officer Iwan Sunito noted,
“Parramatta is a powerhouse for innovation and business and SKYE Hotel Suites
will be a stand-out, luxury addition to Sydney’s up-and-coming West.

“Appealing to a new
generation of domestic and international visitors to the city, SKYE Hotel
Suites is designed to create a fresh lifestyle standard delivering superior
apartment-sized suites for discerning travellers. It will also set the
benchmark for future SKYE Hotels Suites openings in Sydney’s CBD in 2018 and
Green Square in 2019.”

The building itself is an
architectural centrepiece for Parramatta, achieved by twin visionaries Allen
Jack + Cottier and Koichi Takada Architects. Located less than 300 metres from
Parramatta Square and a short walk from Parramatta’s train station and ferry
wharf, SKYE Hotel Suites is surrounded by high-end retail and cultural
experiences.

Each features L’Occitane toiletries,
in- room dining from a modern on-site restaurant, pre-stockable maxi-bar, the
unique ability to choose your own mattress firmness on each side of the bed,
keyless entry and ‘virtual concierge’ tablets to enable access to all hotel
services from each suite.

Amenities to delight even
the most seasoned business traveller or the most demanding holidaymaker include
a state-of-the-art gymnasium, pool, sundeck, spa, sauna and new restaurant,
Husk & Vine Kitchen and Bar, which opened at lobby level on July 1.

Later this year cocktail
legend Sven Almenning will also open
a breathtaking 26th floor rooftop bar, overlooking Sydney’s iconic skyline.
